Automation of injection moulding machines and their peripherals is already well advanced. High space utilisation in injection moulding production requires careful planning, especially for all operations related to production.
However, in-house logistics still mostly rely on manual processes. Shift work, waves of illness or the introduction of new products or machines often pose staffing challenges for companies:
High labor costs
Skilled workers are tied up and cannot be deployed where their expertise has a direct impact on production. Automation and process optimisation are key to changing this.
Skills shortage
Tiresome tasks and demographic change are making the search for skilled labour increasingly difficult. Modern, automated processes ease the workload, increase the company’s attractiveness as an employer and create opportunities for skilled labour to generate added value.
Ergonomics
In shift work, physical strain quickly adds up. Automation of transport, working alongside humans, offers a solution.
Human resources
Flexible working and production models require significant planning efforts. Intelligent automation solutions provide the necessary flexibility.
